Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Su Ming—Should I Teach Rongrong the Misty Step?
[Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo come after me, so what? I'm not even afraid of Tang Hao now. Why would I fear them?]
The girls were stunned upon reading this. Su Ming, was he finally stepping up? He even claimed he wasn't afraid of Tang Hao anymore. Did he have some secret trump card?
[That said, while I'm not afraid of Title Douluo, I'd only be able to fight them to a draw at best. Neither side could claim victory. So unless absolutely necessary, I'd rather not reveal all my strength just yet. I'll wait it out until I reach the Title Douluo level—then we'll see who dares to challenge me!]
[Also, while Rongrong's martial spirit evolution will grant her powerful defensive spirit skills in the future, that's something for later. For now, she truly lacks a means of self-defense.]
[I happen to know a footwork technique that suits her. Should I take the opportunity to teach her?]
[Tonight, I tried patting her head, and she didn't reject it. Could this mean she has a favorable impression of me? Should I keep pushing forward?]
Rongrong's heart leapt with joy as she read this part. Thrilled, she turned to Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, do you know what kind of footwork Su Ming might teach me?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment before responding, "It's probably a technique called Misty Step. I've seen Brother Su Ming use it a few times. He originally wanted to teach me, but I didn't really need it. My speed is already quite fast, and I also have the Teleportation skill. For me, the technique wouldn't be very useful."
"But for you, it's perfect. Zhuqing's Nine Yin Manual and my Wind God Legs both include corresponding martial skills, but they require specific internal energy cultivation. Our methods wouldn't suit you. However, according to Brother Su Ming, Misty Step relies on the user's spirit power for activation—probably modified by his system."
"From what I've seen, this technique doesn't appear particularly fast, but every time Brother Su Ming uses it, he creates afterimages of himself. It's perfect for dodging. If you learn it, Rongrong, you'll finally have a way to protect yourself. The only question is whether it's hard to learn."
The more Rongrong listened to Xiao Wu's explanation, the more excited she became. Would Su Ming really teach her the Misty Step?
And if he did, would she be able to master it?
With these thoughts in mind, Ning Rongrong resolved to give it her all, no matter how challenging it might be!
[I'll think about it later. After getting through these next few days, perhaps once we return from the Star Dou Forest, I can try teaching Rongrong the Misty Step.]
The others didn't dwell on Su Ming teaching Ning Rongrong this technique. At most, they felt a slight tinge of envy. After all, they weren't in as much need of it as Rongrong, being a pure support-type spirit master.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, was preoccupied with thoughts of her own. When would Su Ming finally join Spirit Hall? She clearly remembered how favorably Su Ming had spoken of Spirit Hall. After years of waiting, she was starting to lose patience. Right now, Su Ming was nothing short of a treasure trove.
Anything he casually brought out could significantly advance Spirit Hall. Take the Misty Step, for instance—if this footwork technique were to be widely taught, low-level and support-type spirit masters would gain a crucial means of self-defense. Spirit Hall's overall strength would rise substantially!
And that body-strengthening technique he mentioned—if even a simplified version were made available, it could bolster Spirit Hall's forces and attract more spirit masters to join. This would weaken the two empires and accelerate the unification of the continent!
Were it not for the system's restrictions, she might have already sought out Su Ming to recruit him directly.
Little did Bibi Dong know, Su Ming's joining Spirit Hall was not far off. He had ideas that could only be realized through Spirit Hall.
One such aspiration was improving the lives of the continent's commoners, giving them some form of security, much like in his past life.
Using the resources provided by his system, Su Ming hoped that after Spirit Hall unified the continent, everyone would have the chance to awaken their martial spirits. His ultimate goal was for everyone to become a spirit master, gradually narrowing the gap between commoners and nobles. He knew it would be difficult, but he was determined to try.
Another reason he considered joining Spirit Hall was to gather faith energy. Without a suitable God Trial, he wasn't sure he could reach godhood. The known trials were limited, and none seemed ideal for him—or at least not the best choice.
[Following the conclusion of the Soul Duel, the team originally planned to return to the academy. However, because of Ma Hongjun, tensions flared.]
[Ma Hongjun, unaware of Dai Mubai and Zhuqing's relationship, suggested going to a brothel to "cool off" his fiery urges. He even tried to drag Dai Mubai along. When Dai Mubai refused, Ma Hongjun had the audacity to make crude comments, claiming women were nothing but resources. Naturally, this infuriated Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, and Rongrong.]
[Rongrong aside, Ma Hongjun could afford to provoke none of these three. Yet there he was, digging his own grave. Ultimately, he was forced to leave, humiliated.]
[Then Zhuqing unleashed her anger, delivering a scathing tirade at Dai Mubai. Ma Hongjun had revealed plenty of his dark past, and Zhuqing wasn't going to let it slide.]
[Dai Mubai, burdened with guilt since Zhuqing's arrival, had been staying close to her, trying to make amends. But Zhuqing had ignored him all this time. Today, however, she finally spoke to him—for the sole purpose of mocking him. Dai Mubai, with his naturally fiery temper, was incensed.]
[After her cutting remarks, Zhuqing turned and walked away without looking back. Dai Mubai, already gathering spirit power in his right hand, likely refrained from attacking her only because the rest of us were watching.]
[That should have been the end of it, but Rongrong had to chime in!]
[At first, I thought it was perfectly in character—after all, in the original story, Rongrong acted recklessly at this point, mocking Dai Mubai and getting herself "educated" by him.]
Ning Rongrong:...
"Ahhh! Stop saying I acted recklessly in the diary! That's not me anymore!"
Her current personality was much more refined—she didn't want to face social death!
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, both amused but trying to stifle their laughter. After all, Rongrong's behavior in the original story was indeed hard to defend.
